Articles & Happening Meta Discussion

Articles & Happenings is the third attempt at a news board on the Kiwi Farms. It is a cursed place. Every moderator who has been assigned here has resigned within a year. During 2016, the political crossfire was so bad it spread to different boards and culminated in me banning American news discussion entirely for several months. It has been deleted in its entirety twice. There is no actual discussion here, it's people posting garbage. It leans much further right than the rest of the site and doesn't particularly conduct discussion because dissenting opinions are dogpiled by a thousand memelords posting shit they read on /pol/ without any critical analysis.

The only rules that can be enforced are empirical ones with boolean violation answers. New threads must cite a real source directly and must use the headline of the article as a thread title without any editorializing. Articles must be archived in some way and must link to the original article. Replies that are one word or a reaction images are automatic one-month bans from the board.

I'm creating this now because it seems like this place is here to stay and is one of the largest areas of the entire site. I might as well throw in bare minimum effort to improve it. I don't even try to find mods for here because they will quit, without exception. I've added new prefixes ("Business" and "Crime") just now.

Discuss.


New threads should be made like this.

I noticed, and was wondering about this too.

Saw three or four posts that I found interesting only to see that they were 3+ years old.
I just figured it was my problem and moved on, but it was curious enough I took note.

The Dark Knowledge is quite a temptress...
I'll admit to dabbling in the Forbidden Arts, when I'm bored...

Sorry if this has been talked about before but I think it would be better if there was a explicit rule that older articles can't be posted, even though the last one I shared was still relevant and informative enough for discussion it got nuked due to this hidden rule with a lovely "don't post old shit"

Can we get the politisperg rating on the politisperg boards so we all end up with negative reaction scores?
That'd be really funny.

is this to balance out how all the 'correct thought' political threads are subject to moaiposting? I can't see how this won't end up lulzy

The political sperging sticker is a half-measure against something that can't be helped to begin with.

I posted similar in the forum discussion thread where you can. Feel free to moai all posts through my post history like many have been doing to each other since it's inception as I don't give a fuck about stickers in and of themselves.

I was only pretending to be retarded, honest.

Translated that for people that might not understand what you were saying.

What's the big deal against stickers? I want a Ninja Turtles sticker to put on my binder.

I just want to say that it’s nice that people are knowing more about the Maoi statue. It’s a really beautiful piece of work, stone face and all.

Instead of only having like/dislike/agree/disagree/informative/feels, those should be removed too and instead only have MATI/autistic/dumb/late/TMI.
